Very nice place, friendly people. Stayed there long ago.hopefully I can find shelter with them again soon

At frst hey I can do this n soon as come in the staff put me in a room with filthy roommate!! And then they put me out fr really no reason after they lied n said they would fix situations n talk to me!! I had very bad experience n here I was homeless fr 15 yrs in Chicago n now I know y ppl choose to sleep outside like I did versus a shelter!!! N cause they put me out in days time instead of giving me time to adjust they were bogus

Abusive and hypocritical staff members who show favoritism. If you value both your own sanity and human rights, avoid these shelters like the plague. Two staff members in particular seemingly delight in gaslighting the guests who are clearly not their favorites.

The women accepting donations need to be a little more welcoming. You are the faces of the people that need these things. One bad experience with you and it would effect the volume of items that may be donated to this noble cause. You never know who is dropping things off. Greeting someone with, What do you have for us?" As oppose to the greeting of the day isn't very professional or warm AT ALL. A real turn off for me.

This is hands down the best shelter for adults in Chicago. They have case managers on staff that provide help with obtaining and keeping housing. They help you save your money so you can afford an apartment on your own. Staff are very caring. Guests at the homeless shelter pay it forward by doing chores 3 to 4 times a week. There's lots of helpful classes that are run by qualified volunteers. Some of the classes include money management, classes about employment, etc... The facilities are really nice. There is a computer room where you can look for employment, a day community room where you can read, watch TV, converse with other people, or keep to yourself. The sleeping arrangements are separated by gender. Women are one side and men are on the other. There's bunk beds so it feels more private compared to other shelters. Even though it's located in a Church, this shelter isn't Religious based, nor do they make you pray for services like other homeless shelters in Chicago make you do for services. I highly recommend this shelter if you're willing to put in the effort to make your life better.
